How did the arrows appear on the trousers? | History of creation
Today trousers are an essential attribute of every person's clothing. They emphasize harmony, give the image well-groomed and respectability. The arrows on the trousers are an important distinguishing feature of a business suit - both for men and women.
But the history of the appearance of arrows is very curious and no less interesting!
The arrows on trousers appeared at the end of the 19th century, during the rapid development of factory tailoring in Europe. At the end of the 19th century, European garment factories exported most of the products, and in order to fit more goods on the ship, the clothes were heavily compressed. After a long sea voyage, the trousers had strong folds-arrows, which could not be ironed. However, buyers were not at all embarrassed by such a defect, and after a while it even took root and became fashionable.
There is another version of the appearance of arrows on trousers, less believable but no less interesting and is attributed to Prince Edward of Wales. When the prince went to a social reception in 1896, he was caught in a terrible rain. His trousers got wet and out of shape, and he asked the peasant woman to iron them. In those days, trousers had folds along the two inner and outer seams, they were ironed on the outside and front side. But the peasant woman joined the seams and ironed the trousers in such a position that it turned out to be an ironed fold on the trousers.
